Make It Stop

Don't ever let a man make you think you're small.
If he does stand up to him and feel tall.
Don't ever let a man tell you  can't survive without him.
I'm here to help who ever can relate my name is Kim.
I was tormrnted by a man for many years.
Not anymore I can't believe I let this happen and thought to myself no one cares.
I'm writing to tell you my story.
To help even just one person come out of it and share the glory.

No Promises No Lies

NO PROMISES NO LIES

Addicts run away from life each time they use.
They run further away from life only to wake up the next day feeling worse or the same.
You see all the addicts that I know are running away from something called pain.
Most of all themselves, they run from from something or to something.
Some place they will never find, it always seems to be one high or one day away.
Freedom is what they seek although when they use their drugs of choice, they
actually become enslaved.
Each day they become further away from reality and one step closer to going insane.
They don't miss it when they get clean.
Don't get me wrong they still have cravings but to stay clean they can not let the feelings of 
loss or sickness get to far from their minds.
They have to keep one eye and ear open so that they don't relapse. 
Easy no but worth every effort they put into it. 
It's worth every bit of happiness they find.
No Promises No Lies...-An Addicts Friend-
